After Singapore 5B what do we do?

There have been several discussions that 6A and 6B don't introduce new concepts so much as go further in depth, like a good pre-algebra program should. I see this in 4A and 4B and after previewing MM5, I see the same.

 

Here's few discussions:

AoPS Prealgebra comes after Singapore 5B. If you use 6A/6B, you can go straight to AoPS Algebra.

 

Did you read this on the AOPS website? I've seen some threads on the AL board, but nothing definitive.

Thank you! I'm especially interested in the last thread, but all three look informative.

I emailed AoPS, and Richard R. (not butchering his name on my phone) emailed back. I posted it to one of the threads asking about it - might be one of the ones mentioned by the PP.

Thank you for the replys and links to other threads. I look forward to reading more indepth once the kids go to bed tonight. I had read a while back that 6a and 6b are more depth and not really new concept. My child gets concepts and depth quickly and gets board with repetition for repetitions sake.

I did see that, but he didn't seem sure either. I'll be interested to hear how your ds does. The last thread convinced me more to stick with 6A&6B. Before AOPS PreAlgebra came out, I was planning on doing Russian Math 6 in between SM 6 and AOPS Algebra. I think it would be different if my ds were older. He'll still be 8 when we finish SM5B. I know your are in the same boat.
